Help with Particles

I am using Unity 3.5 anything newer doesn't run on this old pig of a computer.
First here is an example of what I am doing.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Bubbles : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.  
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         gameObject.particleEmitter.emit = false;
10.     }
11.  
12.  
13.     void Update()
14.     {
15.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.B))
16.         {
17.             gameObject.particleEmitter.emit = true;
18.         }
19.         if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.B))
20.         {
21.             gameObject.particleEmitter.emit = false;
22.         }
23.     }
24.  
25. }

Not sure if I need this in there or not since it works with or without it

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start()
2.     {
3.         gameObject.particleEmitter.emit = false;
4.     }

So I am trying to figure out how I could use more than one in the same script assigned to different keys or actions(I think ).
Not sure how to even ask what I am thinking.
Sort of like finding objects by their tag or name and using sepperrate keys for each one.

If that makes any sense at all to anyone haha.
Thank you for any help and I'm not above figuring it out for myself after being pointed in the right direction.

 

Im guessing you mean that:
You want multiple particle systems attached to the same script and you can toggle them on or off at will, and also swap them?

If this is the case, try using an array to hold all your particles. That should start you on the right track

 

Swap them?
Everything but that is what I meant.
Not sure what you were getting at by swap unless you mean use different keys/buttons for each one.

Anyway I'll look into doing it with an array.
Was having one of those brainfart days and just couldn't find the right words to use for a search lol.
I'll post again if i figure it out or not thank you for the help regardless of the outcome on my end haha.

 

Once I get home from school ill wright up some example code for you and give some links.
Also my response wasn't the best :/

 

This is a basic script which I wiped together, I haven't tested it out, so all things may not work. Its basically to give you an idea

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public GameObject[] particleSystems;
7.     public int i;
8.  
9.     // Use this for initialization
10.     void Start () {
11.         foreach (GameObject g in particleSystems) {
12.             g.GetComponent<ParticleEmitter>().emit = false;
13.         }
14.     }
15.  
16.     // Update is called once per frame
17.     void Update () {
18.         if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.B)) {
19.             ParticleChanger(false);
20.             particleSystems[i].particleEmitter.emit = true;
21.         }
22.         if (Input.GetKeyUp (KeyCode.B)) {
23.             ParticleChanger(true);
24.             particleSystems[i].particleEmitter.emit = false;
25.         }
26.     }
27.  
28.     public bool ParticleChanger (bool enabled) {
29.         if (enabled) {
30.             if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.A)) {
31.                 i++;
32.             }
33.             if (Input.GetKeyUp (KeyCode.S)) {
34.                 i--;
35.             }
36.         }
37.         return enabled;
38.     }
39. }

 

Whether it works or not it's at least a starting point for me to work on and I see how the array works now.
Thank You very much for your help.
